phin pls

Oh dear. I can’t tell if Phineas is panicking out of fear or excitement, and I’m almost certain it doesn’t actually matter for now.
- Aria
  
  Correct!
Amaaré

Ulrich, so much cooler about all this magical nonsense than Phin. Ok, so the cute waitress we met earlier is a flaming angel or something, whatever, that’s cool.

Panel 6 may well be the best explanation of this comic there has ever been.

…I want to touch Ellie’s wings.
- Aria
  
  I thought the same thing about that panel while I was drawing it hahaaa

This is a perfect reaction. It means the Blazing guardians are well known enough to have fan girls. Gotta wonder how strong this Hastur guy is to command a constellation like that. Are they even a constellation? Are they a band?

Are those petticoats, or storm clouds, poofing out that dress?
- Aria
  
  They technically petticoats, but they’re magic meant specifically to keep folks from peeking up the girls’ skirts while they’re flying around or fighting, so they act less like layered pieces and more like just a mass of fluffy fabric. Can’t be bothered to worry about stuff like that while you’re dealing with the demon of the day
  - Sage
    
    so are all blazing guardians female?
    - Aria
      
      I’M GLAD YOU ASKED no they’re not! Outside the comic i sometimes use the term “Magical Girl” because it’s an easily understood description of the kind of thing they are, but guardians can be any gender or species.
      - Piccolo
        
        are there other kinds of Guardians out there? Or only BLAZING Guardians?
      - Aria
        
        We’ll see!
      - Piccolo
        
        Can’t wait to learn more about this world where the Hero chases the Sun!

Does Ulrich usually have an accent? I’ve been reading him in a sort of neutral American one, but if his first language is German maybe I need to revise that…
- Aria
  
  He has the accent of someone who hasn’t been immersed in his own language in a long time and someone who tries very hard to speak “properly”, so it’s pretty faint! It’s really only noticeable when he gets lazy and lilts certain words or he gets flustered or excited.
  - Sabriel415
    
    Makes sense. Thanks 🙂 And hey- don’t worry about the updates- you gotta take care of the body first and foremost!
Sage

aria, take as long as you need =) while i love reading each and everyone of your updates, we also really care about you. dont push yourself to hard just for us, okay?
- Aria
  
  I really appreciate it! Usually when things get backed up like this it’s because I’m working on different things in addition to pages that I can’t share yet. All of it this time is Kidd Commander related, at least, and hopefully I’ll have something to show for it in a few weeks!
  - caribouchat
    
    That’s fine, we don’t doubt you and your work, but spare your hand and wrist, you need them to work! We can wait.
    - Aria
      
      That’s kind of you! I’m gonna try and have an update ready for tomorrow!
      - Piccolo
        
        just don’t be rough on yerself for us mkay? your health comes before OUR entertainment. >:X
      - Aria
        
        I appreciate it!
shiny-floette

I hope you feel better! Love the comic, but don’t stress your hand too much!
- Aria
  
  That’s sweet of you, thank you very much!
Amaaré

I in no way begrudge Aria taking a few updates off for the sake of her drawing hand, but I feel slightly sorry for Ulrich, stuck for so long at the point of juuuust remembering something 😉
- Aria
  
  he’d appreciate how much he’s annoying everybody haha

Panel 2 Phin: “EVERYTHING I HAVE KNOWN IS A LIE”
Last panel Ulrich: “This is the right time to remember something, right?”

Panel 6: Muppet Phin turned Ulrich into Angry Muppet Ulrich! Stat changes: lose 5 Sanity, gain 20 Humor, gain ability to be even more annoyed than usual!

Phineas fangirling is really cute 🙂
